RTV Changing map/gamemode in a Gmod server
« on: April 03, 2010, 05:51:35 AM »
Hello, I am currently running ULX SVN with ULib in my server.  My server hosts multiple gamemodes, at present, it runs darkrp, Gmod Stranded, Trouble in Terror Town, and Taco script.  I am trying to find a system so that regular people can place a vote for a change of map, or a change of gamemode and map.  Does anyone know of a system like this that already exists, that is compatible with ULX?

You can vote for change of map in ULX currently, but it doesn't have a gamemode vote feature, nor do I know of one made specifically for ULX. Wouldn't be too hard to make one yourself though! ;)

if I only knew the most basic things about lua perhaps.  Something I've been meaning to learn, but allright, I'll look into it.

Jeremiah, a good place to start looking for example code (at least in relation how to do a ulx command) is ULX itself.
ULX has a "votemap" command, and a "map" command.
The map command allows for selecting a different gamemode during map change.
Find what make the map command tick in relation to changing maps at same time of gamemode, then mix them in with a new votemap command.
Don't edit the actual ULX files of course.
Gmod wiki has an article for making an addon.
If you have some base code you want help with, ask in our developers corner forum area.

Thank you very much, that sounds like a plan.  I'll post again when I have this operational.
